b o o (health and other updates)
Posted 4 years agoHi, I'm attempting to live slightly again :') Lol I think the last time I tried to be active on here, it was Halloween as well. How conveniently fitting haha.
I felt as though I should make an update journal instead of just posting out of the blue without saying anything. This is a bit of a rough journal for me to make, but I want to put it out there.
Long story short, the health problems that I was having in 2018 are still issues that are relevant today.
On top of that, more health issues have shown up as well. Some of which have had light shed on them because I've been on a bit of a journey to try to figure out my health. I've considered being vague about everything, but it's clear that this will be an ongoing issue, and I don't see the point in trying to push it under the rug. Especially because the hand pain that I've been struggling with may be explained by this, so it will inevitably continue to come up.
About a year and a half ago, I stumbled upon a Youtube video that discussed a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). When I saw this video, I became interested, as it was uncanny how much it reminded me of the health issues I've dealt with. Upon looking up more information and videos, I drew even more connections. I've had a gut feeling that this is what is causing my problems, ever since I saw the first video I watched about EDS.
EDS is a hereditary disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue is prominent in many parts of the body, so as you'd expect, it can affect many things. This is why EDS has so many comorbidities (linked conditions). EDS can cause things such as hypermobile joints (double jointed), dislocations, subluxations (partial dislocations), gastrointestinal conditions, autonomic conditions, heart conditions, chronic muscle/joint pain, etc. There are 13 known types of EDS. The symptoms and severity of EDS can vary greatly, case by case.
(hopefully my explanation is ok, please research for better info if you're curious, there's a lot to it and I feel like I can't explain it as well as I'd like)
At this point, I have seen multiple doctors over the last year and a half, and most seem to think that I may have EDS and/or comorbidities of EDS. I won't go into the comorbidities currently, but I will say that I don't personally deal with dislocations at this time, thankfully. However, I definitely deal with constant chronic joint/muscle pain and joints popping and clunking constantly that seems to be worsening (I suspect the clunks to be subluxations although I'm not fully sure). As of late I've also been struggling with a lot of stomach issues, fatigue, lightheadedness, and trouble concentrating.
However, of course, I know that there are other possibilities that may be the cause of my health issues and that EDS may not be the cause. Unfortunately, the diagnosis process for EDS isn't the easiest. It is not a very well known condition, so not many doctors know it exists (from my understanding, some do not even believe it exists). The next step for me would be to get a genetic test to see if I have any of the types of EDS that would show up. However, the most common type (hypermobile EDS), does not have a known gene so it does not currently show up on genetic tests. If I received a genetic test (which currently I do not plan on doing this year) and none of the types show up, it would be assumed that I may have hEDS. At that point, I would need to be able to exclude any other possible diagnoses (I believe I've already confirmed that I do not have any autoimmune disorders that may be causing this, other things may still need looking into). Then finally, if I check enough boxes off on the official EDS diagnostic checklist (which I have already confirmed with my physical therapist that I do), THEN I will be able to be officially diagnosed (assuming I can find a doctor who will diagnose me, unfortunately my physical therapist can't and my primary won't).
Basically, right now, I am trusting my gut, and all of the separate comorbidities and symptoms that line up seem to heavily point towards EDS. I just don't feel comfortable saying 100% without a doubt that I have it, right now. Perhaps some of that is denial lol.
Unfortunately, if this is EDS, it is something that will be present for the rest of my life, as there is no known cure. However, there are ways to deal with the symptoms and comorbidities. I am hopeful that with time, I can improve and can hopefully have more good days than bad ; u ;
TL;DR - I may have Ehlers-Danlos Sydnrome which may contribute to the hand issues that I deal with (among many other health issues), but at the very least my body is very questionable.
(don't be surprised if I disappear again lol)
On a lighter note, another hobby that I've taken up recently is rock tumbling. I used to love rocks as a kid. Perhaps the local rock shop closing is what ended my interest back then. However, I recently learned about rockhounding and collecting rocks locally and I've had a blast with that, as well as tumbling what I've found! Who knows maybe I'll post some finished tumbles on here some time lol.
As for artwork, I think that my plan is to stick to adoptables, currently. The free bases that are available are so incredibly helpful to me, so that I don't have to strain my hand as much.
Anyways, that's about everything that I can think of to say currently. It's been hard to concentrate lately, so I hope that everything I've said makes some sense! Thanks so much for reading. I hope everyone has a wonderful day <3 Please stay safe and take care of yourself!!Pay What You Want Commissions (Traditional and Digital)!

I Just Unwatched 2200 Users (and update: trying to recover)
Posted 7 years agoWHEW.
That took awhile for sure.
I went from watching about 2700 people to just above 500 people.
I've never cleaned out my watch list, and it was needed for a long time coming. A large majority were unactive or deactivated accounts. Hopefully no one minds or takes it personally if I happened to unwatch them ; u ; A big reason why I purged the list was to minimize how many submissions are in my inbox. There were way too many per day, so hopefully this helps! I wanted to be able to view art more easily, and I hope this will give me more inspiration and motivation to draw.
As for the update:
I've been having some health issues since sometime in July of this year, around 3 or 4 months now. Currently I don't know if I want to fully go into details, but I will say the pain has been quite bad. I got some new medicine on Tuesday, and I think it's helping currently, but we will see if it actually lasts. I was told this may not fully clear up for another 3 months, I just hope the medicine will help with the pain enough for me to function somewhat, until it all gets sorted out. But I'm okay! The past two weeks or so I've mostly been resting in bed, which gave me the time to go through my watch list and also watch some anime, haha. I haven't had too much energy and/or patience to draw as much, but I do want to ; o ;
I was planning to post a few more submissions with drawings from the past few months - some are ready to go, I just need to have the energy to sit at my PC to post them. Others I'm waiting on so I can put up a lighting setup, when I can. Most are just sketches that won't show up properly on my scanner, but I want to try to get decent photos of them. I still feel so new to traditonal art haha, so I'm not used to how this part works.
Anyways though, I hope everyone is doing well.
Thank you for reading through c: I hope you have a good day!Update Journal (am I back from the grave? maybe lol)
Posted 7 years agoIn case anyone wants to know what I'm up to!
I may be finally getting back into the swing of things with art. I'm looking forward to posting some things I've done over the past few months.
Currently I've gone back to traditional art, as it seems easier on my hand. I've still been experiencing some pain with my hand, but it is not nearly as bad as it was at one point. I feel like I can make art consistently enough now, at least traditionally.
I believe it's determined at this point that I have hypermobility in my joints, and this can cause tendonitis and make it flare up more often. I'm not the best to explain health issues, but that is how I understand it. I'm at a point where I can do art, but I don't think I can get back to where I can just draw for hours on end anymore, even with breaks. That's alright!
For now, I do not plan on going back to commissions. Perhaps one day I will do small commissions like icons and the like again. And I may eventually try some art trades. But currently I just want to get back to a place where I feel comfortable with my art. I've been delving into drawing humans more, and I'm trying to rediscover the style(s) I'd like to experiment with. I still don't really feel like I know what I'm doing, though I may never know haha xD And it's been a long time since I've posted any of my art online, so that will take getting used to again. I look forward to it though.
As for digital art, I messed around digitally the other day and I realized the brush I've been using on SAI may be what's really causing strain on my hand. I have to press down quite hard for a consistent even line with the brush I use, and I've never noticed until recently. Eventually I want to look into it and try to do more digital art again, but for now I'm having fun with traditional c:
So, for the time being, I plan to post more finished traditional pieces as their own submissions, and some other sketchbook pages put together as combined submissions, if I can. Some of the drawings in my sketchbook that I may post, I may not be as happy with. I want to post some of those, too though, because even though I may not be perfectly pleased with them, I want to share them. I may also post some practice drawings that use photo references, because even if they're referenced, I may be happy with them and want to share them (of course I will do my best to credit the original reference). I want to try to teach myself to be less hard on myself with my art going forward.
Also please let me know if anyone has any scanning or photo tips for traditional pieces! I've currently scanned some colored pieces and they came out looking nice, but plain sketches don't fully pick up on the scanner. I'm going to try a lighting set up to take photos underneath, and hopefully that will look nice. I'd prefer to edit a few sketch pages together as one collage so I don't bombard my gallery with tons of pages full of plain sketches.
And as a last note, I want to be very lax with posting. I may end up posting in batches, or if I'm in the mood I may upload a more finished piece every few days. We will see! Either way I hope I can continue to share my art with you all and grow bit by bit :3 Hopefully I've explained my plans well enough in this journal in case someone is curious what they are.

I have to take a break for a few days
Posted 12 years agoI finally was able to get a shot for my hand. I've had tendonitis; drawing for too long hurt, and writing just killed my hand. And this was after wearing a brace for awhile.
All in all, this shot should help, but I got it just yesterday, so its still extremely painful to do too much with my hand.
I may give more updates when I can. Typing with just my non-dom hand is hard
I'll try to get stuff I owe done ASAP, sorry ;u;

Test Journal (please ignore)
Posted 12 years agoHi, I am finally getting around to opening up commissions for these custom mouse cursors!
Here is the info regarding them c:
How to use:
Once you've ordered a custom mouse cursor from me, you can change your cursor through the settings on your computer. You can have many different cursors on at once, because you can reskin each action the cursor can do (ex: normal cursor, link select, busy, etc.).
On Windows 7, to change your mouse cursor, click the start menu and open Control Panel. Search for "cursor". Click "Change how the mouse pointer looks". From here you can change any cursor action to a different skin, by clicking the "Browse..." button and selecting the cursor skin you want. Once you have which cursor skins you want selected, you can click "Save as..." to save it as a Scheme. This is how you can have all of your cursor actions customized to be your character (or whatever you'd like)!
Other operating systems probably have a similar way to change the cursors, as well.
OPTIONS:Breasts:
- can be clothed or unclothed.
- if clothed and unclothed are ordered together of the same character in non-bulk orders, the clothed version is half off the normal $2.50 price.
Angled Butt:
- can be clothed or unclothed.
- if clothed and unclothed are ordered together of the same character in non-bulk orders, the clothed version is half off the normal $2.50 price.
Headshot:
- these are not on a base, please let me know if you want a specific expression or angle!
- can be animated or static (blinking animation)
- animated versions will cost $1 extra.
Bent Over Butt:
- can be any gender
- no examples of clothed, but I'm able to do a clothed request if wanted.
- if clothed and unclothed are ordered together of the same character in non-bulk orders, the clothed version is half off the normal $2.50 price.
Chibi:
- can be animated or static (blinking and small animations. Let me know what animation you have in mind, and I will let you know if I think I can do it.)
- animated versions will cost $1 extra.
Paws/Feet:
- can have toes at the top or the bottom of the cursor, default is at the top like the examples. Please let me know if you'd like them at the bottom instead.
Tail Wag:
- can be animated or static
- animated versions will cost $1 extra.
- can be clothed or unclothed
- if clothed and unclothed are ordered together of the same character in non-bulk orders, the clothed version is half off the normal $2.50 price.
Penis:
- can change pointer to the usual triangle or heart pointer instead of cum.
You Choose! Custom:
- if you have another idea for a cursor, this is the option! Just keep in mind that these are a small 32x32 pixel size, so not everything will be doable. But if you have a pose or idea in mind that isn't already an option, just let me know and I will see if it is possible.
- can be animated or static
- animated versions will cost $1 extra (possibly $2 extra if the animation idea is very complex)Please keep in mind that because these are so small, there are limitations on what I can do. Complex characters may be simplified for some types of cursors. If you have a more complex character and would like less simplification, then I would recommend getting a headshot instead of a chibi, for example. If you are unsure about anything regarding this, feel free to ask me about it and I will do my best to answer. Please fill out this form when ordering! You can send me a note with your order, or post a comment on this image. I will then ask for your Paypal adress so I can send you an invoice :3
FORM:
Number of cursors: (how many cursors will you be ordering?)
Type of cursor: (which type would you like? ex: chibi, headshot, angled butt, etc.)
Type of pointer: (what kind of pointer in the upper left corner would you like? ex: cum, heart, any color triangle, etc. Let me know if you have other ideas and I can let you know if I can do it or not.)
References: (what character would you like the cursors to be of?)
Extra info: (Any extra info that i need to be aware of? If you're interested in a cursor that isn't one of the base options, you can write your request here. I will let you know if I can do it or not.)
For now I will take three slots. Each slot can order however many cursors they'd like.
1.
2.
3.
If you have any questions or uncertainties, please don't hesitate to ask me!

Posted 12 years agoI want to draw faster.. Advice?
Posted 12 years agoJust a quick journal!
I've been noticing how fast some people can draw, and it makes me extremely jealous ;_;
I think because of having to rest my hand completely for a month, I got a bit slower at drawing, since its been awhile.
But even before, I wasn't ever too fast. I'd love to post much more art than I do, but I just take too long on each picture.
Does anyone know any good ways to practice speed? I really don't want to cut down on quality.
I was thinking about practicing some of those gesture drawings again each day, as I think they'd help..
But any other ideas would be great! ;u;
Thanks!

FA's new rules. [RANT]
Posted 12 years agoI usually don't like making rant journals, but this just irks me too much.
I was going to type a huge long journal, stating how I feel on everything, but I'll just keep it as simple as possible.
I do not agree with either of the new rules.
I understand why they were brought up, but they could have been handled much better.
Filters are very handy things. If not that, it could have just been made where material, non-art item raffles are banned. And where YCHs have restrictions on how often you can post reminders.
It upsets me, honestly, because I know at one point they did have restrictions.
And I specifically remember something going on at the same time as when that rule was made.
And it was looked over and not enforced well. And neither was the YCH rule after that (before this new one), that I didn't even know about.
I think people were spamming so much YCH because they don't know about these rules.
And yeah, its annoying when people post a YCH reminder every few hours.
But I enjoy reminders too! Maybe once every few days.
Along with this, I've seen a lot of people say, "Thank god, no more YCHs!" as if they're gone.
There's still going to be many, many artists doing them.
And, apparently, streaming images are allowed. The same exact image, possibly every day, for however long.
Nothing against them, but I find this very unfair.
I've heard people say, "Oh, but stream pictures aren't posted as frequently as YCHs!"
What the hell YCHs are you seeing? Honestly, never have I seen annoying spam of YCH reminders, and I watch 2100 people. Not to mention, a lot of artists depend on YCHs for money.
And, I know its been said, but yeah the thing about the raffle journal reposts is going to affect new artists.
If I didn't ever do raffles, I wouldn't have nearly as many people know about me. Not everyone can draw porn 24/7 to post every hour, every day to get watchers.
Not only that, they're fun and allow people to find new artists. They allow people who don't have money to have a chance at art. And, again, I've heard people say, "Oh its fine, people can buy ads if they want exposure!"
But its honestly hard sometimes to put aside even $20.
It seems like most people okay with these decisions aren't artists.
In the end, I feel like these were stupid decisions, and could have been handled a lot better.
Am I mad, brah? You bet I'm mad, brah =w=
